Do you really think any other formation would have made a difference ? Toothless, useless and shite ! I cant believe you would actually defend that crap !!
Oh dear !!!! Is that the best you can do !![/quote]
Unfortunately yes. That’s the worst performance of the season by a country mile. The players had not a clue were they should be and our poor No. 22 was running round in circles and kept looking over at the bench as 2 or 3 Swansea players ran at him from all angles. :woohoo:
Having 5 or 6 players away on international duty all week surely he didn’t get them all back on Friday and said right boys we will play 4-4-2 on Saturday, lets have a bit of a practice. :(
Bobby and team got it totally wrong today and deserved to get hammered. Why oh why did he decide to play the hoof game to the front two who couldn’t win a header or hold it up.
The only consolation, if you can call it that, is the “play 2 up front brigade” might just realise that we haven’t got the quality players to play that formation and will lose midfield and therefore lose the game. :angry:
Now I’ve had my moan, I’ll leave it up to the DS to milk it for the next 6 days. :ohmy:
come on john thats a little lame even for you, and before you start on about me gloating -I won’t be, I’m as dissapointed and upset as you are tonignt.

Who said anything about defending that crap?. I actually disagree with you, it was worse than crap. :angry:
In my view, the thing that made it crap was the formation. We got over run in midfield and lost the battle.
Look back at the thread posted over the last 4-5 days debating this very issue. Why did he decide to play a formation that we haven’t started with all season?. Perhaps Jayt or somebody can throw that at him on Monday. :ohmy:

A popular misconception is that the ” Darkside ” milk it ! Do you really think that we enjoy that !! For RM to play McCarthy and Gomez from the off when he had better alternatives just goes to show his obstinacy ! Oh and it might have been 4-4-2 on paper but it was far from that what I saw !!
Christ,we haven’t got the quality of players to play any formation.Nip out and whiff the winter roses .We are where we are because as our manager he has failed miserably from day 1.Then again a lot of posters seem to be looking forward to our forthcoming championship campaign ,”lets play in a proper league “…….whatever !!

Where were the wingers to make it a traditional 4-4-2 then? Last time I checked Moses was on the bench and the midfield was Gomez, McArthur, McCarthy. Looked to me that everytime we set up we had 4 centre halves and wing backs, then we ended up with DI Santo throwing a hissy fit at being asked to play on the right with one up front.
Sammon, Di Santo,Rodders ,does it really matter who or how we play them ?Theres no goals in any of them.We can have 99% possession and those 3 still couldnt hit the net.

When i saw the team I just couldnt understand it it looked like a 442 but was not, di santo was deffo out on the right and sammon on his own in the middle, now forgive me if i am wrong but when there are 2 up front they usually play close together and look for flick ons and knock downs – the formation today was very, very strange to say the least.
